After its foundation in 1933 within the premises of Dar Al Aytam Al Islamiya premises in Tariq Jdide, Al Muntada institution has strived for some time to serve the community and host the public at the occasion of important events and celebrations.
Due to the lack of public venues in Beirut at that time, Al Muntada hosted a number of entities, until 1970. As a member of the Charity Foundation, the institution participated in the social growth momentum at the local, national and regional levels. In 1987, its headquarter was transferred to Wardieh, in the district of Ras Beirut, a prestigious cultural and social neighbourhood, and historical area home to universities, public institutions and embassies as well as high street stores, companies and banks.
Al Muntada has succeeded in investing its public interest campaigns in favour of common welfare, to support the most deprived communities in particular.
